Friendship Songs to Give on a Birthday (21–30)
Kimi Memorial Day — Thank you for being born.Sonar Pocket
Sonar Pocket’s birthday song “Kimi Kinenbi ~Umarete Kite Kurete Arigatou~,” released in 2012.
It’s a birthday song you’ll want to give to a beloved partner or friend—listening to it makes you want to share it.
Not every birthday turns into a completely happy day, and some friends might be feeling down with worries on their mind.
Even so, this song conveys the heartfelt desire to tell them with all your being: today is a wonderful day because it’s the day you were born.
AnniversaryHirai Dai
This is a warm song that gently portrays the feelings of someone in love from a woman’s perspective.
Released by Dai Hirai in October 2021, it cherishes memories with a lover and everyday moments written in a diary, treating each one like a precious treasure.
The desire to live each day as if it were an anniversary, paired with a refreshing melody, makes the piece deeply moving.
Included on the album HOPE, it stands out for its soothing vocals and harmonious acoustic guitar.
It’s perfect as background music for a surprise birthday video for a close friend and is recommended for anyone who wants to convey a heartfelt message.
Happy☆Lucky Birthday!Doraemon, Nobita, Shizuka, Suneo, Gian
This work features charming, heartwarming, and straightforward lyrics.
Centered on friendship and bonds, it portrays the joy of celebrating a birthday.
The lyrics convey a desire to cherish the connection with someone important.
Released in December 2012, it was used as an insert song in the anime Doraemon and is also included on the album Doraemon: Uta no Collection.
With its bright and fun melody, it’s perfect for playing at a birthday party, and it also makes a great gift for someone special.
pupilaiko
Your friends might be moved to tears by the gentle melody and touching lyrics.
I think it’s the perfect birthday song for friends who are struggling with love or looking for a new relationship.
This song is included on the 2006 album “Kanojo” (She).
My Best FriendLittle Glee Monster
How about this song as a birthday tune for a girl friend you really love? Little Glee Monster’s “My Best Friend” isn’t a birthday song, but it’s a number that captures women’s friendship and those hard-to-describe feelings.
It’s sung from the perspective of a girl about her friend who’s being tossed around by her boyfriend, and for many women it’s pretty relatable.
It reminds you that, because she’s important to you, it’s crucial to express your feelings properly—and that kind of female friendship makes it a perfect fit for a birthday song, too.
Today is My BirthdayBerryz Kobo
If you’ve got a friend you can joke around with, I recommend sending them Berryz Kobo’s “Today is My Birthday.” As the title suggests, the lyrics are about one’s own birthday, so it’s really a song best listened to on your own birthday.
But if you give it to a friend you can kid around with, they’ll probably turn it into a laugh with a playful comeback.
Of course, it’s also great to listen to or sing yourself when it’s your own birthday.
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAYDREAMS COME TRUE
The song “HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY,” included on the 1993 album MAGIC.
When it comes to birthday songs, this one often comes to mind—it’s a track that fills you with happiness! You can really feel the desire to be the very first to say “Happy birthday!” the moment the date changes, especially when it’s a friend you truly cherish—and honestly, don’t we all feel that way? It’s a birthday song filled with gratitude for your friend’s birth.
